Quick Review: I bought this cigar in a Romeo y Julieta bundle special. To my dismay, the cigars were in a less then desirable condition. However, I saw hope and strived to revive these cigars over the last few months. Last night I was in the mood for a quick smoke being that it was freezing outside and remembered I had a four inch Romeo y Julieta 1875. Hoping that they were finally ready, I grabbed the cigar and hoped for the best.
           The cigar still showed signs of scarring from the rough journey it had before me but its structure and important features remained excellent. I cut the cigar and began my cold puffs. The flavor hints I was receiving was of oak. The aromatic scents for very mild but very pleasant. I then lit the cigar and it started off well. The oak notes in the cold draw remained true to the actual smoke. Another main flavor was that of coffee. Smaller less potent flavors included earth, light spice, and mild sweetness in and out.
           All in all I was impressed with the tiny smoke and how the flavors worked in concert with each other. The burn was very even throughout and the ash only fell off once.Moreover the scents radiating off the cigar was pleasant and really help set the mood for my smoke. In the end it was not an epic cigar, but one that really filled the role I needed it to fill. I needed a cigar that I could smoke in less then 30 min and enjoy the experience as much as the more normal sized cigar. I would give this smoke a 5.8/10. An above average quick smoke.
